Volunteer Opportunity
April 8, 2013 By kcook Filed Under: Uncategorized
Changes are coming to the nursing admissions process. We don’t have a complete list yet of the exact changes, but do know one of the changes will be around work experience. Beginning with the fall 2014 application students will need to complete a minimum 50 hours of volunteer or paid work hours. We do not have all the specifications of what types of work sites will count, but do know it can be in a hospital setting, doctor’s office, nursing home or even some daycare sites.
With that being said, we are in the process of creating a link for students for volunteer opportunities like the one listed below.

Nursing Scholarship Program
April 25, 2012 By Beth Filed Under: Uncategorized
The following scholarship information was forwarded by the WSU College of Nursing:
The 2012 application cycle for the Nursing Scholarship Program (NSP) opens today. Please help us spread the word about the program. If you are familiar with the NSP, you will notice program modifications that have been put in place to meet the needs of the nursing profession and to ensure support for communities with the greatest need.
The NSP provides scholarships to nursing students in exchange for a minimum 2-year full-time service commitment (or part-time equivalent), at an eligible health care facility located in a primary care or mental health Health Professional Shortage Area also known as Critical Shortage Facility. While in school, NSP participants receive tuition and fees, an annual payment for other reasonable costs to cover expenses for books, clinical supplies, and instruments, and a monthly stipend to cover living expenses.
For 2012, the program is adapting to the increasing demand for nurse practitioners by reserving up to half of the award funds for students pursuing a master’s level nurse practitioner degree.
As in previous years, the NSP is expected to be highly competitive. If there are more qualified applicants than available funding, the NSP will prioritize applications based upon the level of financial need of the applicant.
The deadline to apply is May 8, 2012, at 5pm ET. Please help us spread the word to potential applicants. To learn more about NSP eligibility and requirements, please visit:
